Cover Reveal 'Smolder' by Kelbian Noel

Today I’m super excited to participate in the cover
reveal for ‘Smolder’ book three in The
Witchbound series by Kelbian Noel. This is a YA urban fantasy series and
the first two books are ‘Roots’ and ‘Sprung’. I'm totally shocked that I didn't know about this series before, because it sure sounds like a great series.

Check out the
gorgeous cover and then enter the giveaway to win a $25 gift card!

The Book:

Calida Cevallos has never been special. In fact, as far
as she’s concerned, there isn’t an exceptional bone in her body. But, this
summer, she’ll discover extraordinary literally runs through her veins.

I’ve always been a burden. The girl people put up with,
the one they tolerated. When I finally found someone who actually wanted me
around, I couldn’t have be happier. But lately something’s been bubbling at the
surface. Something wants to break free…and I’m afraid it’s me.

I love him. And, for a time, I thought I needed him. Now
I’m not so sure. These days, I get the feeling I’m the one who’s needed. By
whom? I’m about to find out.

And now without further ado the cover of ‘Smolder’…….

About 'Roots' (Witchbound series book one):

Seventeen-year-old Baltimore Land just wants to be
normal, but magic has other plans.

I don’t consider myself a witch, that’s my parents’
thing. I’ve never really believed in magic either. Sure, I tried it a few
times. Fell for the whole “magic happens” thing. But it didn’t happen to me. No
amount of rhyming stopped my parents from moving me halfway across the country.
Not one spell stopped me from being labeled the town freak.

And worst of all, no matter how many times I begged the
Universe to bring my twin back, I was ignored. Until now.

He’s back all right. And in a magical bind of his own.
Not the magic-won’t-work-for-me kind either. In fact, it’s working a little too
well. Too dark. Too deep.

It turns out our entire family’s magical roots run just
as deep and my brother didn’t end up where he is by accident. So I’m going to
help him. But magic isn’t really on my side. Nope. Once I finally get the craft
under control, I’m expected to abandon the one person in the world who’s
closest to me, just to save myself.

About 'Sprung' (Witchbound series book two):

Since she discovered magic, seventeen-year-old Skye
Jackson’s life is almost perfect. Almost. Even perfect has its glitches.

What happens when the one with all the power makes the
biggest mistakes? Welcome to my life.

Four months ago, I couldn’t have been happier. When my
parents got divorced, I wasn’t exactly thrilled. Especially when Mom married a
guy half her age. But then I found out I wasn’t the average Joana. Discovering
magic existed and, best of all, I could use it, made everything easier to deal
with. That is until I got a little too spell happy. But what girl wouldn’t
defend her best friend against a world-class creep? Now I’m stuck in a
nightmare, forced to make life and death decisions I never dreamed I’d face.

About the Author:

Kelbian Noel was born on a warm June night in Moncton,
New Brunswick. From a very young age,

she loved to read. She found herself
engulfed in novels by Janette Oke and L.M. Montgomery, but never seemed to find
herself in the pages. At the age of 11 she declared she would simply have to rewrite
them, and become the youngest author in history. But life was full of baseball,
homework, BFFs and boys. Decades later, having studied writing in college
and pursued it as a career, she rediscovered her hobby. She is excited to
introduce The Witchbound Series to the world with hopes someone will love this
story as much as she does. Kelbian lives in Toronto, Ontario with her two
children (where, thanks to a thick layer of smog, Junes are much warmer than
they used to be).

She is the founder of www.diverse-pages.com and blogs there often, in the
company of some pretty cool people.

About Me

My name is Maureen, I’m 28 years old and I live with my husband and cat in The Netherlands. And
I’m a fulltime Nurse on a Traumatology department at an Academic Hospital. As
long as I can remember my life has been filled with books and stories. I grew
up with my mom and was just the two of us for a long time. But we were never
really just ‘with the two of us’. Our house has been filled with books and
bookshelves and the books never stopped coming. I grew up reading everything I
could put my hands on from ‘Mathilda’ and ‘James and the Giant Peach’ by Roald
Dahl, till all the Harry Potter books and the Twilight series. So growing up
I’ve have been in all sorts of different worlds. I used books as an escape when
things got tough but I also used books to find my peace and somehow grew in the
woman I am today.
